Thanks, MyaDia, for the info on Caroline. You know that I much prefer reading about her than the two escapees from the asylum.

What is really telling is that Armani agreed to work with her when she admits she had no fashion sense. He helped her big time when she needed it, but now, he is a nobody as far as Charlene is concerned. She got what she needed from him and so now it is time to dump him and move on. Albert and everyone else in the palace needs to pay attention to this split with Armani. Charlene is showing that she will dump people when she is finished with them, and Albert and the psychophants need to understand that she will do the same to them when the time comes. Her only loyalty is to herself. I've seen people like her in action.

Here is something in the NY Post about Charlene dumping Armani. I'm sure that she is thrilled that she was able to fight to the top and also get her photo from the wedding in the paper. She was the first story in Page Six while Kate had a tidbit on her dress as the second. Of course, Kate was on page one with the banner headline. www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/royal_fiancee_snubs_armani_SNxSL1ggmQnhvjGzpoVHTJ

Grace is beyond spinning in her grave. This man has no manners at all. How arrogant to arrive after the Queen. I think the Queen should send Sarah Ferguson to their wedding. She's fit right in with all the corruption. LOL the Queen could really make a statement if she sent Sarah to Monaco and I'm sure that Sarah would jump at the chance for a free trip. Poor Grace. I'm sure she keeps asking herself where did it all go so wrong.

Wow! It's all so impressive.
Wonder if Charlene will suddenly decide she needs her wedding in the cathedral rather than the street carnival?

I couldn't believe it when Albert pushed Charlene into the royal section at Victoria's wedding and I am still trying to grasp that Charlene is sitting near the Queen for Wills' wedding.
How Monaco has fallen! For Charles and Diana's wedding, Monaco had Princess Grace to represent them. Grace elevated the princely house to stand with royals. Now it's Charlene. She is dragging Monaco and the Grimaldi's into the gutter, and I fear they will never be able to crawl out. Albert is showing that no matter what his mother and maybe Caroline have done and are doing to elevate Monaco, Albert is not ready for the big leagues and is an embarrassment.
Once this street fair wedding is over in July, it will only be minutes before men all over the world start telling their I-knew-Charlene-when stories for money, of course. (Question: has Albert hired attorneys yet to sue all the magazines and newspapers that will run these stories, claiming that they are lies? It will probably require several firms to handle all the work.) And Monaco will never be able to escape Princess Charlene, even if she is banned from the country within a month of the wedding. When Kate and Wills first child is married, the press will drag out the photos of their wedding and look who will be front and center: Charlene.
Albert must really be stupid or have unmeasurable hatred for his parents, his sisters and his country to inflict the flagship Charlene on them.

I bet Stephanie will be "Marton of Honor". If for no other reason but to stick it to Caroline. [/quote] LOL! You may be right! I hadn't thought of Stephanie being Matron of Honor, but it would fit and it would stick it to Caroline.

Coundn't you be the one who stands up and says "Yes, me! For this is all cheap, trashy fake!!!" when Barsi asks whether someone is against this union?" Please do that... For Monaco and Caroline. This would be great. EA could redeem himself in many eyes if he would do this. KARMA

I guarantee a lot of Albert's much closer relatives won't be invited. This is all for show and how many famous and rich people Albert and Connie can get to their wedding for publicity sake. It's not a "family" only wedding. Exactly MrPlowFan! This wedding is not about the vows taken and what they mean; it is an opportunity for these two narcissists to get a fix. Albert and Charlene think that if they can get important people to come to this charade, then it will make them important also. For the Swedish royal family, I couldn't understand why the whole immediate family was attending, but now I think it is like when dad or mom schedules a business trip to Anaheim and takes the whole family to Disneyland while he/she is there and writes off from the taxman a good portion of the trip. Maybe the Swedish people are paying for the family to have a vacation in the south of France that they are presenting as an affair of state. One would think that Carl Gustav would understand that by consorting with an ALLEGED rapist/womanizer, it is easier for people to believe the rumors about him. My advice to the Swedes, you keep lying down with these two dogs, you will get fleas. JMO

Creative that PR release is so hilarious, but scary as hell because your version is closer to the truth! I do not if people realize this, but the guest that will not be invited in to the actual ceremony in the courtyard will not all be seated right outside in the palace square (i.e. street). Please read the press release again, but these guests will act as crowds for the trashy couple and will be placed throughout Monaco to watch the wedding on giant screens. I don't think these stupid 3500 flunkies realize this, but they are the rent-a-crowd that the palace wants so they have another National Day fiasco - an empty palace courtyard to suck up to their new trashy princess. This is beyond trashy and tacky, but just plain outright insulting! Can you imagine spending lots of money to attend a wedding and then you are placed on the streets to watch the wedding on a giant screen? This plan was also confirmed in a previous article that I had posted in RD. Wait and watch. They need a guaranteed crowd for the cameras for their -made-for-tv wedding and this was the only way that they know that they would definitely get it - invite people who think that they are coming to the actual wedding, but lace them at strategic locations along the wedding processional to watch the wedding on large screens. Maybe we have been missing the real objective. Once they realized that they won't even be THE royal wedding of 2011, they decided to go for being the WORST royal wedding EVER. So in the future when there are royal weddings and the commenters are mentioning the best, they will also always mention Albert and Charlene's as the worst, tackiest royal wedding ever. I think that these two so want publicity, any will do. If I was invited and accepted and got to Monaco and learned that I would be sitting on a street somewhere in Monaco in all my finery watching this debacle on a giant screen, I would promptly check out of the hotel and fly home. How insulting to their guests. Evidently these two are bigger than Monaco, at least in their minds.

Albert the Pervert Kylie MinogueFrom the Sun Newspaper Kylie Minogue Says Prince Albert Groped Her Bottom!The Sun’s Dominic Mohan spoke with Kylie Minogue following the World Music Awards where the singer revealed Prince Albert of Monaco had fondled her bottom. Kylie said, “ It was enough of a shock for him to pick me up in the first place but I certainly didn’t expect him to be all hands. It was a bit embarrassing, although he acted like nothing had happened.” As for rumors she’d had plastic surgery on her bum, Kylie insisted it was nonsense: “I really don’t do anything to my backside. I don’t use lotions or anything like that. I work hard, I run around a lot and I dance when I have to. But that’s it.” I've noticed at these events, when Albert has his photo taken, he ALWAYS puts his arm around the women, ALWAYS. He is the only man in the photos to do this with any woman that is not their wife. I've also noticed that when its Charlene and another woman, he tries to be closer to the other woman, particularly if it is Caroline, with his arm around them and not Charlene. I guess no one ever calls him on his roaming hands.

My guess is that he was cheating on her like the others. Albert as far as I can tell has never had a monogamous relationship. She got away because he screwed up. As for being shy of the media. She was at the Olympics, a gold medalist. She was quite used to the press. That was only Albert's excuse. She must be counting her blessings at this point. JMO Her wiki bio says she got a BA degree in communications and worked as a sportscaster and was part of the NBC sportscaster team at the Olympics. She is now married with 2 kids and works in PR. Not exactly media shy. I agree, Hibou. He probably cheated on her and she thought 'not for me' and left. Clearly, Charlene is the only one who has so little respect for herself or just doesn't really care for Albert to continue to stick around while he continues to chase woman after woman. I've also decided that Albert always saying that it is difficult for anyone to succeed Grace and that's why he hasn't found a wife was just b.s. That was just an excuse to use to keep from settling down with one woman. Yes, people would compare his wife to Grace, but it seems now that he is marrying, he actually encourages that comparison.

I wondered this too, MyaDia, why he is 'honorary' rather than an actual member. Could it be that because he is a member of the princely family and right now, high up in the sucession list, that he is 'honorary'?

The photos of Charlene and Albert from the last tournament day look like a charade to me. I think that they are ACTING happy and excited to be together, particularly Albert. And Charlene's hair looks like she attached the extensions all by herself. At the start of the thread, it was mentioned that the Masters group are thinking of downgrading the tournament, but maybe Rafa is keeping them from doing so. So since Rainier died, Monaco has been threatened with losing the Grand Prix and now its tennis tournament. Does the fact that Albert is the Sovereign have anything to do with this?

The woman victim said that she was in counseling. Maybe her therapist recommended that she file this complaint to aid her in her recovery. Sometimes when the woman tries to just forget it and move on, she never really can because she continues to feel like a victim, and seeing Albert's picture all the time and him representing himself as this great guy could be agitating her. At this point, since I don't know anything really about this woman, but have a really low opinion of how Albert treats women, I believe that he did this and has done it to other women. And Charlene standing by him while he does these things, tells me a lot about her. On the art show, maybe she has an agent who recommended that she show her art at this forum to get some publicity. She has to live on and support herself and may not be able to be choosy as to where she showcases her work. I doubt anything will come of this and the woman seems to indicate that she expects nothing. I believe that Albert has immunity, so Nice authorities probably will not waste time on it, unless they have more women come forward. One would think that if it is a lie, Albert would sue to regain his "good" reputation. JMO ;D

I doubt Albert has done the math. He strikes me as someone who only thinks about today and what fun thing he can do. Long-term is maybe a week. Plus, he doesn't think about the consequences of his actions. That's why he has two known illegitimate children and who knows how many unknown.

Not sure where to post this, and MyaDia, please, feel free to move it. To me this article documents a PR failure. What do the rest of you think? It's in the NY Post. Kate is dubbed the 3rd royal beautiful female, behind Princess Grace and Queen Rania. Charlene is not on the list, and she can't say it's because is is not quite a princess because Kate is called Princess-In-Waiting. Princess Charlotte of Monaco is also listed and I'm assuming that this is Charlotte Casiraghi who is not a princess or in-waiting, and not her great grandmother. Andrea is listed on the men's list (also not a prince) as is Albert, No. 9 (I guess these people have not seen updated photos.) I guess all the plastic surgery and pr money spent could not get Charlene to be on everyone's minds and lips so that they would name her. It would be interesting to know if the respondent's were given choices or if they came up with their answers on their own. Clearly, whether or not Charlene and the press think you should compare her to Grace, the public just doesn't think Charlene is anywhere near Grace and still put Grace on top, more than 25 years after her death. Here are the links to the article and the list. www.nypost.com/p/news/international/royalwedding/princess_kate_majestic_beauty_5ZgvAC6sRYm4EqmrP3FUoKwww.nypost.com/rw/nypost/2011/04/18/news/photos_stories/18N.ROYALTY.jpg

Last one: And an OT remark: having seen a lot of pics it struck me (again) how unhappy she looked. And still looks. This photo sums up Charlene's fashion style to me. This looks like she was walking down the street, saw a dress on the side of the road, and put it on. She looks like she is wearing someone else's clothes and doesn't care how it looks. Since the engagement, she has done better with clothes, but why she wants to be called 'princess of fashion' is a mystery to me because she has never seemed to have much interest at all in clothes or how to use clothes to make herself more attractive. Those photos of her in backless dresses and you can see her nude back? I hope someone has told her that this is not a good look. From the back, she looks like a man (I apologize for being rude). I always understood that you showed skin only on the attractive parts of your body and covered up the rest. You want to entice the man, not repulse him. You don't expose areas simply because you were too lazy to find a dress that would fit properly over these troublesome areas. When you see Charlene like this, it adds fuel to the idea that Albert is gay. Also, Grimnir, you are right. On average, photos of Charlene show her either unhappy or giving an arrogant smirk at everyone. You would think that she would want to seek happiness even if it meant leaving Albert, but most people like this only want to spread their unhappiness with everyone. An off-topic bit: I saw this article about the schedule for Will and Kate's wedding. Note this line: "Foreign royals start to file into the venue. These include Prince Felipe of Spain and his stunning wife Princess Letizia, the Sultan of Oman, the fabulously wealthy Sultan of Brunei, Prince Albert of Monaco with his South African-born fiancee Charlene Wittstock, and Sheikha Mozah of Qatar." Ouch, that hurt. A 38 year-old, mother of two is called stunning and you who have spent thousands on improving your looks, are only noted for where your grandmother lives. www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2011/04/16/royal-wedding-day-timetable-of-events-115875-23065597/JMO
